#230: Benny Bigsocks: The Christmas Folk Hero
Okay, time for the 6th character of ye old 12 Characterz of Christmas: Benny Bigsocks! The holiday season is full of most excellent bearded gents, but one of those gents you probably haven't heard of, not being from the JC-Verse and all: the great American folk legend, Benny Bigsocks. Being the large man that he was, Benny wore shirts big enough to use as winter sheets and gloves big enough to wear as trendsetting hats, but the part of his attire that he outgrew most often was his socks. Ahead of his time as far as recycling, he passed them onto the younglings of his town, for them to grow into over time and wear. But there was one problem with that: the "growing into" part. His squatch-like qualities were not shared by his fellow townspeople, so the kids left the unfunctional footwear lying around. But on Christmas day, the kids woke up to an abundance of knickknacks stuffed in these socks by St. Nick! Ol' Bigsocks began to make a profit off of his own growthspurts, and the traditon of the stocking was born. It's a rock fact! (A shiny doubloon to anyone who gets that reference.)
